Jackonicko, nice ,well written argument but the massive illegal immigration bit seems a bit strange given what was happening in europe at the time. Many think the persecution of jews (and others of course) ended with the defeat of germany, sadly this was not the case and pogroms continued against jews returning from death camps and slave labour sites well into the late 40s.
Polish jews in particular were murdered in hundreds, many for the 'crime' of demanding the return of their land,homes and property
As is now widely known, Stalin was also planning his own campaign before his fortunate demise.
I cannot speak for anyone else posting comments here but if i were jewish, i would have left europe and got to palastine one way or another!!
